- Can dogs eat venison?
- Yes. Cooked venison is a lean, high-protein red meat. Raw venison can carry parasites and bacteria, so always cook it through if you prepare it at home, and do not add salt or seasoning. CoCo Gourmet venison is cooked in a human-food factory in Japan and then frozen.
- Which dogs is venison dog food good for?
- Venison & Beets is the recipe we recommend for senior dogs, and it also suits dogs that need to limit fat or want a protein other than chicken. Older dogs usually move less, so adjust the portion with the feeding calculator; if your dog has kidney or other health problems, talk to your vet first.
- Is venison dog food hypoallergenic?
- Venison is a protein many dogs have not eaten before, so it is often chosen when owners want to avoid common proteins such as chicken and beef. However, Venison & Beets also contains pork and sesame, and it is not a veterinary hypoallergenic diet. If your vet suspects a food allergy, follow their advice on an elimination diet.
- What should I watch for when feeding it to an older dog?
- From around 7 years old, metabolism and activity usually drop, so our calculator lowers the factor to 1.4: a 5 kg senior dog needs about 251–314 g a day. Warm the food to about body temperature to bring out the aroma for dogs with a smaller appetite. Our senior dog food guide covers more on choosing and feeding.
- Can puppies and senior dogs eat Venison & Beets?
- Yes. All five main recipes meet the AAFCO 2016 profile for all life stages, including growth, so puppies can eat them from weaning. Work out a puppy's portion from its current weight and split it into 3–4 meals; for dogs aged 7 and over the calculator uses a lower factor. If your dog has a health condition, talk to your vet first.
- Can I mix Venison & Beets with other recipes or with dry food?
- Yes. You can choose any mix of our five recipes in the same order and rotate them, which keeps meals interesting and avoids relying on one ingredient. You can also use it as a topper on dry food; choose "As a topper" in the feeding calculator so the calories are not counted twice.
- How do I store and serve it?
- Keep it in the freezer (−18°C or below), where it lasts about 18 months from production. Move the next day's portion to the fridge the night before to thaw; unopened packs keep for 7 days in the fridge, and once thawed or opened, use them up quickly. Warming it to about body temperature brings out the aroma.
